Orglandes German war cemetery, War cemetery in Orglandes, France.

The cemetery contains 10,152 German soldiers arranged in 28 rows with stone crosses marking each burial site on the northern edge of Orglandes.

Initially established in June 1944 for American soldiers, the site transformed into a German cemetery after US remains were transferred to Colleville-sur-Mer.

The cemetery entrance features a small house with a bell tower and crosses displaying names, birth dates, and death dates of the interred soldiers.

Located 30 kilometers southeast of Cherbourg and 7 kilometers west of Sainte-Mère-Église, the cemetery is accessible via Rue Pierre Devouassoud.

A mass grave holds 22 German prisoners who died on October 25, 1945, during a mine clearance operation near Bayeux.
